The Muscular System – Introduction IUnit Overview Objectives • What are the effects of muscles on exercise? • What are the effects of exercise on muscles? • How do muscles work – both macroscopically and microscopically ? • How do muscles utilize energy? Labs • Microscopic Structure Lab • Exercise and Cell Respiration Lab Assessment • Lab Analysis Questions • Exam incorporating lab and lecture information Physiology Overview Muscular System Functions • Movement – by contraction/shortening • Stationary Support – by contraction/shortening to maintain posture • Stationary Support – by contraction/shortening to stabilize joints • Generate Heat Muscles and Motion animation Levels of Organization Level Structures System Muscular System Organ Individual Muscles (~600) Tissues Muscle – Cardiac, Smooth, Skeltal Cells Muscle ‘Fibers’ Organelles Myofibrils; Sarcomere; Myofilaments (Actin and Myosin) IMacroscopic Overview How do muscles work? • Muscles are attached to bones. All muscles cross at least one joint. • Each muscle contracts or gets shorter • Contraction pulls from an origin to an insertion. • Each muscle produces a specific movement ”ACTION“ I Macroscopic Overview Muscle Actions Produce Joint Movements • Joint movements describe the axis in which the body part moves. They occur in pairs that produce opposite movement. • Examples: flexion/extension; abduction/adduction; IMacroscopic Overview Muscles work in pairs located on opposite sides of a joint • • Muscles ‘pull’- never ‘push’. They work together to undo the action of the opposite muscle of the pair. • Prime mover – provides the major force for a specific movement • Synergist – assist the prime mover in specific movement • Antagonist – opposes or reverses the prime mover. Example: • Latissimus dorsi is prime mover for arm adduction; teres major acts as synergist; deltoid acts as antagonist • Deltoid is prime mover for arm abduction; supraspinatus is a synergist; latissimus dorsi is the antagonist IMacroscopic Overview Anterior view Posterior view Microscopic Overview Three Types of Muscle Tissue We will focus on skeletal muscle!
